Lady A & Thomas Rhett honor country “Heroes” in new song

This year has been tough, for obvious reasons. However, it’s also been a year of many losses for country music. This year; we’ve lost Kenny Rogers, John Prine, Joe Diffie, Charlie Daniels and many more.

Lady A and Thomas Rhett felt it was was necessary to write a song to honor those country heroes we’ve lost. It’s a beautiful duet! Appropriately titled, “Heroes” remembers some of the musical greats who are no longer with us.

According to Taste of Country, “Lady A bandmate Charles Kelley co-wrote the song alongside Rhett, as well as songwriters Jesse Frasure, Julian Bunetta, Sean Douglas and Joe London.” One of the lyrics in “Heroes” particularly sends a nod to legend, Kenny Rogers. “As a kid I would sing to ‘Islands in the Stream,’” referencing Rogers’ iconic duet with Dolly Parton from 1983.

Warning…you may need some tissues. Check it out here:

Told ya! All the feels. All of legends we’ve lost in 2020, and those before, will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts and on our radios!
